Hello,

I have 48K/24bit stereo CAF files that I need to convert to 48K/24bit WAV files.

"ffmpeg -i infile.caf outfile.wav" produces a 48K/16bit WAV file that I can open with Sound Forge 6.0.

"ffmpeg -i infile.caf -c pcm_s24le outfile.wav" produces a 48K/24bit WAV file that I CANNOT open with Sound Forge 6.0.

I tried a commercial software utility called "Switch" by NCH Software that can produce a 48K/24bit WAV file that IS readable by Sound Forge 6.0.

I next compared the file header of the two WAVE files.  Bytes 21-22 are supposed to hold the format type, which is supposed to be 1 for PCM.  In the ffmpeg produced file, bytes 21-22 are "FF FF".  In the Switch produced file they are "01 00".

Why is ffmpeg using "FF FF" for format type?  Is there some ffmpeg option that can specify a format type of 1?

Thanks,

--Joe
